Rare Early 8x10 Double Bellows Double Exposure Camera

About the Item

When have you ever seen one of these? This is a first for me. This very unique camera came out of an important 2 generation New York Collection. This was a custom built double exposure 8x10 plate camera. The body and frame are all manufactured in aluminum. The camera has two bellows at 90 degrees to each other and takes 2 matching lenses. The lenses do not have the fine focus attachment. There is one ground glass. You would shoot your 1st shot then crank the camera to rotate the 2nd bellows around to shoot your 2nd shot on the same plate. There is a crank on the side that must have gearing. The crank is frozen and I'm guessing it may need a cleaning and fresh oil. The camera bellows look almost new. This is a unique addition to any collection but would love to see it in action.

Rare M4 Leather WWII Horse Gas Mask
Located in Peekskill, NY
M4 US Government Army Issue World War II, vintage 1941-1942 Horse Gas Masks are very scarce. Due to the large size, most were discarded after the war. Occasionally, one will pop up, but most are incomplete or in poor condition. The M4 Horse Gas Mask has 2 large filter canisters, one placed on each shoulder of the horse. It has a chest mounted pack, and a rubber mask for the horse's muzzle. Flexible hoses run between the components, and leather straps keep everything secure to the horse. Horses (Cavalry) and Pack Mules were not as common in WWII as they were in WWI, making the Horse Gas Mask all the more rare. If you are a serious gas mask collector, consider the chance of finding another M4 Horse gas mask. Included is the signed canvas...
